Children Joining ISIS

Child holds AK-47

(Moscow, Russia)

Children who join ISIS training camps – either under duress or willingly – are forced to learn to use weapons, such as knives and AK-47 rifles, and watch executions as Islamist fighters prepare them for deadly missions.

A 13-year-old, whose name was only given as Mohammed, from the Syrian city of Raqqa spent 30 days in one such camp. He wanted to join by his own free will, but his father wouldn’t let him fearing that his son would turn into a Jihadist.

Mohammed wanted to go to the camp because his friends were going.

The father was promised he would be beheaded if he failed to let his son join ISIS.
